“EGF, what am I going to do? I don’t want to lose my account!”
Well, Sammy, if you click the reply button, you’ll see their email address change into wowaccountadmim@vip.63.com, which is the first sign that it’s a phishing email.
Yeah, it’s "admim" and not "admin". With a non-Blizz domain. Can’t get any faker or dumber than that. Just makes me so mad.
So here’s what I did: I replied on your behalf.

Hope I helped you. Now I’m off to bed at this ungodly hour. Have a good week.
